Waxwing portrait (Bombycilla garrulus)

Back in Stockholm for a brief stopover before heading off to Helsingborg in the far south of Sweden tomorrow. My sister-in-law has wireless Internet so I might try posting some evenings.

The trip to Landsort was a great success though I'm glad we took lots of warm clothes. We had 2 sunny days and one day of snow storms but we were out all day anyway and the winds brought a Steller's Eider to the North Harbour which was a nice bonus.

Brilliant closeup of this magnificent Waxwing. Outstanding dof with great focus, color, lighting, feather detail, eye contact, and setting. First-rate Graham!!!
